Travelling from Australia we found Parrot Nest an excellent place to relax, visit with our friend and explore the Tauranga area.The accommodation and inclusions were just as described, except the bed is extremely high for shorter or older guests. We shall stay again when we visit Tauranga again.
Was perfect for me. Clean tidy and in a quite area. Super comfortable felt really at home. Way better than a hotel. Would definitely recommend and love to stay again!!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We really enjoyed to host you and are so happy that you had a wonderful time. You're welcome back anytime. All the best! Betty & Christian
Property was just as advertised. Clean and up to date. Really appreciated the extra amenities (snacks etc) and the homemade pretzels to make and snack on were great. Cristian as a host was awesome friendly and accommodating for anything needed. Even surprised husband with a German beer. Quiet neighborhood and for us access to welcome bay inland and to mount maunganui was very easy. If your looking for a nice stay for a couples week or longer highly recommend it.

Thanks for this wonderful review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our studio. It was a pleasure to host such wonderful guests and perhaps we meet again 😘 Kind regards Betty and Christian
The property was immaculately presented however it was little touches from the wine on the table as we entered to the selection of breakfast options to the pretty cool bathroom that made the place pretty special, and did I mention the cats. For cat lovers they were awesome too especially Sugar. In my opinion great value for money. Can’t wait to stay again. Thank you Betty and Christian
